    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to reiterate what Sen. Mwaura has said, this is not the first time we have had fires. In fact, we envisaged – I think it was in the Committee on Finance and Budget – that this might happen when we began to have sessions with governors due to lack of transparency, contrary to what we had expected. Somebody had imagined what might happen if records are burnt. That is when we thought of coming up with legislation on the same. At that time, we thought it was going to be the most ridiculous thing that people would do. However, it is now happening regularly and that is frightening. It means that we do not even respect the fact that that it is taxpayers’ money that goes to the counties. That money is meant to be used for social and economic benefits for the people of Kenya. Devolution did not come to enrich a few people. Devolution came so that mwananchi can actually feel the social and economic impact. It becomes dangerous when that money does not reach the people.
